Useful phrases
I'd like to talk about my aunt, who works as a doctor in a small district hospital near Sylhet.
I've known her all my life, of course, but I really began to admire her when I stayed with her during my school holidays. She would start work early in the morning and often stay late to see patients who had travelled for hours from distant villages.
What struck me most was how patiently she explained things to people who were frightened or confused. She taught me that being good at your job isn't only about knowledge. It's about kindness, too.
She inspired me because she showed me that one person can make a real difference to a whole community. In fact, she's the reason I decided to study public health, and why I'm preparing for IELTS so I can do a master's degree abroad.
